To beat cancer, the AXA Research Fund supports 23 basic researchers working on development mechanisms, diagnostics and innovative treatments for different forms for cancer.

€5 million has been allocated to these 23 cancer research projects. In total, the AXA Research Fund supports 168 projects on life risks, with around €36 million invested in major research institutions.

In partnership with numerous institutions, such as the CNIO Madrid, Kyoto University and Institut Curie, AXA supports promising and world-class researchers sharing a common focus on cutting-edge lines of research, basic research and popularizing their work to serve all the stakeholders engaged in this public health issue.
